a printer to:
print the image on a substrate using a visible ink according to the digital representation of the image in the digital layout, and
print the ultraviolet-sensitive finishing mark on the substrate using an ultraviolet-sensitive ink according to the digital representation of the ultraviolet-sensitive finishing mark in the digital layout, wherein the ultraviolet-sensitive finishing mark is visible under ultraviolet light.
2 . The print system of claim 1 , wherein the printer is to output a print that includes the substrate having printed thereon the image and the ultraviolet-sensitive finishing mark to a finisher device to apply a finishing operation on the substrate in response to detection of the printed ultraviolet-sensitive finishing mark.
3 . The print system of claim 1 , wherein the printer is to print the ultraviolet-sensitive finishing mark on top of the image.
4 . The print system of claim 1 , wherein the printer is a liquid electrophotographic printer.
5 . The print system of claim 1 , wherein the printer is an inkjet printer.
6 . The print system of claim 1 , further comprising:
an ultraviolet light source to make visible the ultraviolet-sensitive finishing mark under ultraviolet light; and
a print finisher to finish the print in accordance with ultraviolet-sensitive finishing mark made visible by the ultraviolet light source.
7 . The print system of claim 1 , wherein the ultraviolet-sensitive finishing mark is a cut mark to cause a finisher device to cut the substrate based on detection of the cut mark under the ultraviolet light.
8 . The print system of claim 1 , wherein the ultraviolet-sensitive finishing mark is a fold mark to cause a finisher device to fold the substrate based on detection of the fold mark under the ultraviolet light.
9 . The print system of claim 1 , wherein the ultraviolet-sensitive finishing mark is to cause a finisher device to apply a varnish or lamination on the substrate based on detection of the ultraviolet-sensitive finishing mark under the ultraviolet light.
10 . The print system of claim 1 , wherein the ultraviolet-sensitive finishing mark is to cause a finisher device to apply a stamp or emboss on the substrate based on detection of the ultraviolet-sensitive finishing mark under the ultraviolet light.
11 . A system comprising:
a processor; and
a non-transitory storage medium storing instructions executable on a processor to:
receive a digital layout including a digital representation of an image and a digital representation of an ultraviolet-sensitive finishing mark,
cause printing of the image on a substrate using a visible ink, and
cause printing of an ultraviolet-sensitive finishing mark on the substrate on top of the image using the ultraviolet-sensitive ink, wherein the ultraviolet-sensitive finishing mark is visible under ultraviolet light.
12 . The system of claim 11 , further comprising a printer to perform the printing of the image and the printing of the ultraviolet-sensitive finishing mark, wherein the printer is to output a print that includes the substrate having printed thereon the image and the ultraviolet-sensitive finishing mark to a finisher device to apply a finishing operation on the substrate in response to detection of the printed ultraviolet-sensitive finishing mark.
13 . The system of claim 12 , wherein the printer is to print the image according to the digital layout, and to print the ultraviolet-sensitive finishing mark according to the digital layout.
14 . The system of claim 12 , wherein the ultraviolet-sensitive finishing mark is one of a cut mark or a fold mark, and the finisher device is to cut or fold the substrate based on detection of the cut mark or fold mark, respectively, under the ultraviolet light.
15 . The system of claim 12 , wherein the finisher device is to apply a varnish or lamination on the substrate in response to detection of the ultraviolet-sensitive finishing mark under the ultraviolet light.
16 . The system of claim 12 , wherein the finisher device is to apply a stamp or emboss on the substrate in response to detection of the ultraviolet-sensitive finishing mark under the ultraviolet light.
17 . The system of claim 12 , further comprising:
an ultraviolet light source to output the ultraviolet light to make visible the ultraviolet-sensitive finishing mark under the ultraviolet light; and
the finisher device to finish the print in accordance with the ultraviolet-sensitive finishing mark made visible by the ultraviolet light from the ultraviolet light source
18 . The system of claim 17 , wherein the finisher device is to apply a varnish or lamination on the substrate in response to detection of the ultraviolet-sensitive finishing mark under the ultraviolet light.
19 . The system of claim 17 , wherein the finisher device is to apply a stamp or emboss on the substrate in response to detection of the ultraviolet-sensitive finishing mark under the ultraviolet light.
20 . The system of claim 17 , wherein the ultraviolet-sensitive finishing mark is one of a cut mark or a fold mark, and the finisher device is to cut or fold the substrate based on detection of the cut mark or fold mark, respectively, under the ultraviolet light.
